“A lovely family cottage”

Eleven of us celebrated by husbands 60 th birthday with family and our 2 pugs. The cottage was ideal for us, a big table for all of us to get round for meals, games and books galore for rainy days. Fortunately we had dry weather and bright blue skies all w/e so we're out everyday. The view from the garden is amazing across open countryside and seeing the stars from the velux window in the bedroom as you nodded off to sleep was lovely.

The view from the garden is amazing across open countryside and seeing the stars from the velux window in the bedroom as you nodded off to sleep was lovely. A 20 mins ride to Betws-y - Coed for lovely cafés, shops and meals and the same to zip world where we all enjoyed the tree safari zip wire experience. Shame we couldn't have stayed longer ! Lovely owners, very helpful. The wi-fi didn't work well but probably just as well to get away from distractions ! Well recommended.

Everything worked fine. Mr Carpenter gave useful information to ensure we found the cottage and extra details about the cottage were clear and helpful. Nice touch to send a text to check we were ok on the evening of arrival.

“The owner was very helpful and keen ...”

The owner was very helpful and keen to make sure we arrived ok and keen to be on hand to support with any problems had any arisen but they did not. Great short stay in a lovely, comfortable spacious property. Ample fuel provided for the log burners, milk, biscuits, crumpets and jam left for arrival welcome pack was lovely. The only grumble I had which was not to do with the property only the area that there seemed to be a lack of walking suitable for large dogs, the styles were difficult to negotiate and dangerous for my dog as wet, mossy and slippery, after a bit of an accident with a cut dog leg and bump to his head and 2 failed attempts over different styles we had to opt to walk on the road, however if I had been there longer I would have had more time to explore other footpaths, the weather did not help with this pursuit either given it was a wet muddy weekend. Advice on local walks on foot from the property would have been helpful and suitability for large or small dogs, styles, gates etc would be advantageous. On the other hand the games room and entertainment within the farmhouse meant that we did not struggle for things to do to fill the time when we would have gone walking.

“A great Christmas and week away was ...”

A great Christmas and week away was had by the whole family. The farmhouse was superbly equipped and felt very festive and cosy with the log fires and Christmas decorations. The kids (and big kids!) loved the games room and the location was great. We couldn't have wished for more for our Christmas week away!

“Family get together”

10 of us stayed at the farmhouse over bonfire weekend, 6 adults and 4 children (2 being teenagers) we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had plenty of space to spread out. Facilities were fab and we had everything we needed. The farmhouse was cosy and we all enjoyed relaxing in front of the log fires and had great fun with all the games - enjoyed by kids and adults. The kitchen was great to sit around and chat in. Would recommend the forest toboggans at the zip wire at Betws-y-Coed we all enjoyed them (from age 10-75!). We would definately book the farmhouse again - perfect for family or friends gatherings. Thank you Ian.

We booked the farmhouse for a celebration with friends. It is very well equipped and welcoming with everything you could possibly need, and more ( vinyl records), making it feel very homely. The games room is great and especially welcoming on rainy days. We had a fabulous time and would not hesitate in returning to the farmhouse or recommending it to friends.

“Farmhouse Betsy's-y-coed”

Harry Burton Derbyshire
We recently spent a family holiday at the farmhouse Betws-y-coed for October half term. Eight adults, four children and two dogs. Our visit coincided with storm Brian which seemed to persist for most of the week, and made us very grateful that we were staying at the farmhouse.
The games room entertainment of pool, table football, table tennis, darts & chess kept everyone entertained and evenings in the lounge area doing quizzes and playing board games around the log burner were very cosy.
The accommodation was very spacious with ample room for a party of our size.
There is a lovely view of the surrounding country side from the rear of the cottage.
The cottage is well equipped, the owner is very helpful and is only a phone call away if needed.
A very good holiday.

“Family birthday celebrations”

I stayed at the farmhouse with my family to celebrate my dads 70th birthday. There was 11 of us in total with 5 children ranging in age from 9 to 17. The house was fantastically well equipped, including TVs, Wi-fi, dishwasher and a great games room which the children loved. Everything was clean and tidy, comfortable beds with good linen and towels. Loved the old school record player and collection of LPs - had a great party night singing and dancing. The owner was attentive- texting GPS coordinates, making sure everything was ok when we got there and then letting us know there was no hurry on our last day if we wanted to leave later. My niece left her make up bag and it was posted back to us the following day. Would highly recommend and if we are back that way again wouldn’t hesitate in staying again. Many thanks for a fab time

“Family weekend”

We booked the farmhouse for a family weekend away to celebrate my Mum's 70th birthday. With ages ranging between 2 and 70 we really couldn't have found a more perfect property to satisfy everyone. The games room was ideal for the kids, small and big!! The bedrooms were all comfortable and lovely and warm. The three bathrooms were great, allowing the different families to use one each!
The kitchen was brilliantly equipped with everything we could have required.
A fantastic weekend and we would definitely consider a return visit in the future.

“Total perfection”

An absolutely perfect farmhouse. Eleven of us and two dogs have just returned from a weekend break. The house was not at all cramped and the layout gives everyone their own space. Perfectly decorated and spotlessly clean..
We had everything we needed, a super games room for pool, table tennis, darts and table football, great for children and adults. Fully equipped kitchen, washing machine ideal so you don't need to take loads of clothes or come home with the dreaded holiday wash!
Perfect for either adults only or families. Situated off a main road along a farm track, so ideal for children to enjoy the house grounds without worrying.,
We had fabulous views of Mt Snowden, the house has a BBQ and plenty of outdoor seating with sun late into the evening and cows overlooking the garden wall.
Lots of attractions within a short drive. From walks to go karting.,
Great shop (Mace) within 2 miles sellingbhome made cakes (Victoria sponge will never taste the same) plus local produce, groceries, wine/beer, milk, newspapers etc..
Also a pub, Gilar Arms, that served good value pub food, great for families or anyone with a limited budget but wanting to eat out during their holiday.
No negative feedback at all, just that we had stayed for longer!! Thank you to Ian for all your help and recommendations and welcome pack.
If you do book and have sat nav don't let it take you the road opposite the pottery shop otherwise you go through Parc Farm and have to open/close several gates. Take the road near the pub that takes you past a small camping/caravan site.

“Wonderful house with everything you ...”

Wonderful house with everything you will need. We were a party of 11 and there was ample room for us all and our two dogs.The house is perfect in every way with great views of Snowdonia. Highly recommend for parties with or without children. Perfect for families as children can play without any concerns as not on a main road but at the end of a farm track. Perfect for adults only too, great base for all the local attractions without the hustle and bustle and higher prices you pay for accommodation in a main tourist town. Fabulous games room with pool table, table football, dartboard and table tennis. Great selection of board games and books available for the evenings.

“We had a brilliant family holiday ...”

We had a brilliant family holiday in the farmhouse. Beautiful views in a lovely location.
The games room was a big hit for the children and the grown ups.
Would love to re book for another time and for longer as a week went too quick!

There are two superb cosy sitting rooms with Freeview TVs (main lounge has Smart TV) and woodburning stoves to keep you warm throughout your stay.

There is a large dining table in the main sitting room with seating for ten to twelve.

This sitting rooms also has a CD player and record player with a large collection of CDs and records.

There are two Bose players and an iPod MP3 player.

The second siting room is also a games room with a football table, pool table and snug area for the family to relax.

There is a TV in the kitchen and a TV/DVD player in one of the bedrooms which can be moved around into any of the other bedrooms if required (there are TV aerial points in every bedroom).

There is a lovely rear lawned garden with a patio and BBQ perfect for sunny weather.

At Betws-y-Coed the River Conwy meets its three tributaries flowing from the west, and the beauty of the area is enhanced by cascading waterfalls, river pools and ancient bridges.

Most famous of all are the magnificent Swallow Falls, situated where the Llugwy River hurls itself into a spectacular chasm.

Attractions nearby include miniature railway, a riverside golf course and the Tree Top Adventure High Ropes Course, and is home to The Snowdonia National Park Visitor Centre, as well as being the start of the beautiful Conwy Valley which leads to the coast and the lovely towns of Llandudno and Conwy.

There is trout fishing and go-carting in the next village and the Brenig Lake is in close vicinity with fishing, walking, fantastic children’s play area, café and cycling (bike hire is available).
